Zenizen releases new single "Aja"
R&B/soul act Zenizen has unveiled their new single “Aja” today.
The song features Phony Ppl’s Aja Grant holding things down on the keys and synth bass. An accompanying music video, which can be seen below, was done by Zenizen vocalist Opal Hoyt, who said this about the new song:
“When I made the storyboard for the record, "Aja" was always that end of winter time when you know it’s shit out still but there’s the first circadian hint towards spring. It corresponds to a recurring dream I always had as a kid where I’d be running in this field across from my house and this witch figure was chasing me and I always almost made it out of her reaches and she’d create this kind of shockwave that would launch me into a snowdrift that woke me up (all of the outro lyrics). I don’t have that dream anymore but this video is kind of my last tribute to it. I’ve moved on to more evolved anxiety dreams now.”
“Aja,” which is out on digital services right now, stems from Zenizen’s forthcoming studio album P.O.C (Proof of Concept). The 12-track album will be released on July 27 via Topshelf Records. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.
